NRDC supports federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing under the Safe Drinking Water Act. This would be a good policy for us to apply in regards to the Source Water Protection Act as well. 
Here in Canada, natural gas is extracted in and along the Great Lakes, especially around Erie. In the US, no natural gas extraction is allowed in these zones.
